Bernadette Watts

Bernadette Watts Little Red Riding Hood was first published fifty years ago by the Oxford University Press in 1968. There is a charming interview with Bernadette about her early life and first steps into being a published children's illustrator. Born in 1942 Bernadette was a shy child, late to go to school she was encouraged creatively by her mother who was an artist and her father who was an architect. She studied at the Maidstone Art School in Kent with Brian Wildsmith as a tutor.

Tongue swollen with lies

This is a strange image and a stranger idea, it is about a tongue swollen with lies. 

I was thinking about the 'big lie' theory, the propaganda technique used by the Nazi's in the second world war and now the endless lie technique being used by the current incumbent of the white house. 

Little Red Ridding Hood always seems to be my preferred visual tool for expressing horror and revulsion at events and politics. In this image the wolf can eat no more because his tongue is swollen from lying too much. We can but dream and draw and hope for this to end soon.
